The ladies were part of a team to organize a party event and thought the tub could make a good accessory. But this story falls under category 'If legend becomes fact, print the legend', because it went on in the courts for several years and changed colors in the press many times. No shit.

I was hired by the Corcoran to go into their basement and shoot a large collection of marble sculpture. When I got to it, it was not as expected. There had been a heavy rainfall and the basement was flooded under two feet of sewer water and although it didn’t smell like it, it looked like shit. I waded around and shot the two dozen or so marble figures, souped the film, and found they were the basis for a big lawsuit. When they bought the negs, I knew something was gonna hit. It turned out they were in storage for the Remington or other sculptor’s estate. As I recall, they did not hire the two ladies from Germany to do the cleaning.
